We needed to check in earlier and this was no problem for Homelye Farm to sort out for us. Good communication thigh out the booking process and on arrival the room and bathroom was very spacious and decorated nicely. All the items you need for your stay were there, wardrobe, chairs, table, soap, hand cream and shower gel, plenty of towels. Breakfast was very tasty, variety of choices from hot menu aswell as cereals, yogurts, croissants, fruits and juice. Service was great all round - thank you. Read more

Perfect place in Essex

Would Recommend

I had to visit Essex on business and found that Homelye was located reasonably close to the places I needed to be. I checked on a Monday evening and was made most welcome. I had a single room, which was spotless, and slept like a baby for my three nights. The 'Farmers Special' breakfast was top notch, both with quality and quantity. Various options were available, and Neil, the proprietor would often give others guests options that were not on the menu. Read more

We spent one night at Homelye Farm Courtyards B&B and wish we could have stayed much longer! It's in a really peaceful, quiet setting, where all you can hear is the tweeting of birds and the occasional sheep, a treat for us city folk. We were warmly welcomed when we arrived and were pleased to see we could park our car right outside our room. It would be good for wheelchair users. The barn, where you have breakfast is light and has beautiful views. Read more

The only downside is getting your own transport there & back from airport it adds to the cost. Other than that this is a great place to stay.

Peace and quiet was amazing. I would have expected more disturbance on a working farm in rural Essex, but not so!Breakfast was one of the best full Englishes I've had in many a stay, great coffee too!
Dislikes?
The room came fully equipped with a flat screen television, only downside being the fluctuating signal strength which caused the screen to pixillate. Perhaps a signal booster would rectify this.

My husband and I stayed here for 2 nights for a relaxation weekend we read some good reviews on the internet so were looking forward to this weekend away we were not dissapointed in any way. From the excellent renovated and comfortable accomodation with the best hospitality tray ever seen to the hearty breakfast that set you up for the day to the friendly and helpful service received from the moment you checked in to leaving. We had an excellent stay and will definatley return again. Read more

Friendly B&B

Would Recommend

This B&B was geographically ideally suited for me. I wanted to visit the area as it was where I grew up decades ago !!
The rooms are a good size, with ensuite facilties and all those little extras that make it comfortable, ie hairdryer, lotions, etc. It was private enough without being remote and in easy distance of good eateries in the area Read more
